0133: [Coach, I want to play basketball]

The Lakers released an update that Bruce Lee will not appear in the final two Summer League games.

This caused an uproar in the media.

So, the Lakers chose Bruce at such a high cost, just to let Bruce Lee enter Hollywood to better create a new album?

For a moment, cynicism was endless.

This forced Kobe Bryant to stand up and respond: "Why didn't you report that we won the Boston Celtics by 30 points?" Why don't you say that Bruce was in complete control of the pace of the game, and that he scored the highest game in the game and the record for assists in a single game in this Summer League? He does have some problems, but his strengths stand out more, don't they? ”

In addition, the Black Mamba also explained why the team let Lee Jin rest.

"We want Bruce to get plenty of rest than a Summer League title, he's our future and we've had the patience to wait for him to grow. It's like... Andrew Bynum, we didn't expect them to contribute to the team right away. ”

Bryant thinks he's got it clear enough.

But it turned out to be a new point of attack for the media: What qualifications does Bruce Lee have to compare to the baby shark? Bynum's talent is visible to the naked eye, and Bruce is a typical talent black hole in addition to speed.

As a result, even Kobe Bryant was damaged by the media.

And what brought the sports media atmosphere to the top was that Bruce appeared on stage in Las Vegas the following night.

He made his debut as a singer and he was very popular in Las Vegas. took $300,000 that night.

This has left the sports media with guns, all sorts of lashouts, all sorts of one-sided criticisms. Say that as a player, he doesn't go to play, but goes to make money. Those basketball experts are even more ugly than the other.

Although Bill Duffy emphasized in front of the media that it was because the team informed that he did not need to go to the training camp and then took over the event. Moreover, Bruce did not delay any training, and he even did a physical training backstage before the opening.

However, no one cares about the truth of the facts.

The sports media saw nothing but Bruce enjoying the spotlight and cheering on a glittering stage, which seemed to them to be an outrageous.

"Why can't you do something you love in the offseason? I like Bruce's behavior more than the NBA stars who also spent a lot of money in Las Vegas. ”

"The only thing Bruce did wrong was... He had an unparalleled musical talent before he became an NBA star. There has never been a media critic of other stars who have released music albums, such as O'Neill or Artest. Because their albums are not listened to at all, and Bruce's albums have sold one and a half million or even two million copies. ”

"Those people are simply jealous, and they are simply sour grapes. They don't think Bruce deserves the No. 3 show, and they think Bruce should be taught a lesson on the court...... But it always backfired, and Bruce also became a singer and made a lot of money on stage. ”

"Go be jealous, it won't change anything anyway."

Eddie Griffin unabashedly reveals the facts in front of the camera.

However, these words did not even appear in their entirety in the report.

……

For his part, Bruce didn't stop his trip after he left Las Vegas.

There is no media report that he has spent $200,000 to form the most professional training team, but has been focusing on his concerts on tour of the United States.

Actually, they don't need to report it. Bruce has also appeared repeatedly on major television stations, and his songs are becoming the strongest pop storm of the season, with a steady stream of hits being discovered on both albums with no intention of stopping at all.

Major music media have even begun to tout these two albums as two of the greatest original music albums of the new century, and have booked the next Billboard, the American Music Awards and even the Grammy trophy for Bruce in advance.

At the same time, countless stars in the music industry began to send invitations to Bruce. They can't wait to have something to do with Bruce: these well-known big stars are very different from those guys in the basketball circle, and the general people in the basketball circle are always making news about Bruce, saying sour things about making Bruce look good when the new season starts. Let him know what rhythm God is rolling on the piano with his head on his head.

Bruce didn't pay any attention to this.

Eddie Griffin, who was touring with him, silently wrote down the names of these people in a small notebook. As he himself said, "I have never been a tolerant person."

The talented athlete, who was diagnosed by doctors as a 'severe alcohol addiction', worked almost as an assistant on a long North American tour, and God knows why he was so obsessed with music.

Every time the show opened, Bruce would let him go up and play for a few minutes to warm up. To be honest, his rap is really not very good, just a little better than the Shackel O'Neill he mocks.

But he still won the love of the fans in the audience because of this.

And fans love him not because of the music, but because he helped Bruce stop a crazy basketball fan at Chicago International Airport in early September. The basketball fan is very supportive of Randy Ferye, who believes Bruce's place should be Randy Ferye's. So he acts irrationally, but before his fist lands on Bruce's head, Eddie Griffin kicks him away with a flying kick that looks like Bruce Lee's homage.

In the end, though, it ended peacefully.

But Eddie Griffin is loved by Li Zhen's fans because of this, and Griffin is gaining weight at a rate visible to the naked eye in a sea of music: maybe because his workouts haven't kept up lately, or maybe because he has quit alcohol. But regardless, his mental side is getting more and more positive, which makes Bruce very happy.

In mid-September, when Bruce and he were fighting bulls backstage at the concert, they were once again rewarded with positive energy. The reason is that the probation of the degenerate... This improved Lee's coordination from 55 to 60.

This made Bruce extremely happy, both mentally and physically.

The physiological pleasure is because my strength has improved again.

Psychologically, Eddie Griffin is getting mentally fitter, and although he is fat, it is better than indulging in alcohol and mess throughout the offseason.

Time flies, and when the 45-day North American tour comes to an end, it's the end of September.

At this time, NBA clubs have begun to make final preparations for the new season, and the preseason training camp for each team is about to begin.

Bruce, meanwhile, is heading from Los Angeles to Oakland, where he wants to dominate Facebook's new round of funding.

The 18 tours over the summer brought him $5 million in after-tax income, in addition to an easy $5 million loan from the bank for the rights to the songs.

Then, without blinking an eye, he poured all $10 million into Facebook. Although Zuckerberg made it clear to him that this part of the equity was different from the original shares he previously owned, and that it would be diluted with future financing, he did not hesitate.

Faceboook raised $25 million in this round, and the company's total valuation reached $500 million.

But for Li Zhen, he knows... That's far from the size of the company. So, he didn't hesitate at all.

After signing the subscription, Bruce happily went to lunch with Dustin and Zuckerberg, and originally wanted to call Eduardo, but he has been very uncomfortable recently because of the equity matter, and he even wants Yahoo to buy the company completely and then cash out himself.

When Bruce learned the news, he made a point of calling Eduardo before leaving Oakland: "If you're going to cash out, you can call me anytime." ”

Eduardo complained to Zuckerberg on the phone, saying he felt Zuckerberg had gone too far.

But that's the game of capital.

Bruce could only comfort him, and he couldn't say much more about the rest. Because he was not a victim, his original equity was not diluted, as he had a contract from the beginning.

In the end, Eduardo said that if he wanted to sell his shares, he would definitely give priority to Bruce: "Because you are a trustworthy partner. ”

Forehead....

Li Zhen didn't know how to reply to this sentence, but said, "It's late, I wish you a good dream." ”

And Eduardo on the other end of the phone wished Bruce a good journey in the NBA. "You're going to be the pride of all programmers."

Forehead....

When Li Zhen heard this word, he was even in a trance: he hadn't heard this title for a long time, and it seemed to be getting farther and farther away from him.

But anyway.

"Thank you, I'm going to make a name for myself in the NBA."

Bruce said with some certainty on the phone.

He then boarded a plane to Los Angeles.

After a summer of fermentation in the media, more and more people are waiting for the No. 3 show to play in the new season.

Because of the protracted criticism and sarcasm, this deviant No. 3 show has long been well-known in the basketball circle. His limelight has long overshadowed all the rookies, and even the champions and leaders in front of him.

And at this time, entertainment media is also gathering in Los Angeles.

They also want to find out what is the relationship between the elusive Bruce Lee and the three Olsen sisters? Why at the last show in New York, Ashley would hug him tightly during the curtain call and try to kiss him on the lips. It's not like some kind of bullshit friendship. In fact, if it weren't for Ashley's heels not being long enough, it would definitely be a 100 percent French kiss.

Her mouth was pouting like that.

That image was published in all the media.

Bruce clearly doesn't want to deal with these headaches.

He had repeatedly stressed to Phil Jackson on the phone: "Coach, I just want to play basketball. ”

……

[There is still tonight, I will stay up late.] And, as you know, in my understanding. It's a day before dawn. 】
